What do we think of this bag?

[0pheliaBalls]

This fella

I usually go for something a bit more structured (think satchels) but lately I've been hankering after something a bit smooshier. I've had bags from Blondie Mania/Grandala before and the leather is just beautiful. I'm thinking about this in chocolate or black, but does it look a bit old fashioned do you think? I'm a bit useless at this sort of thing so I bow down to the s&b ladies' superior knowledge

TIA!

I'm nearly fifty and I wouldn't carry it.

It's not that it's horrible its just what I would call a granny bag! Sorry!

I'll have a look for similar.

It looks really cheap to me. I'd expect it to be from a supermarket or something.

It's too old looking for me and really not worth that.
Not hideous if it was a tenner in Asda though.

I think it's gorgeous!

I don't get the 'grannyish' thing as a put down. Do you mean dowdy or frumpy maybe tate? I know a lot of fashionable women who also have grandchildren.

Anyway, I'm 32 fwiw and I love it.

OK, maybe grannyish is wrong. Not youthful?

I prefer this but its more money

This is nicer in my opinion

I really like that one and I'm not a Michael Kors fan usually!

Looks cheaper than it is. Don't buy.

I bought this earlier

What do you think of it? It's the most I've ever spent on a bag, and I really like simple, low key designs. I'm hoping it won't date and I can use it for many years to come. I love it, I bought the grey one.

That Michael Kors one is lovely too tate, though I think I prefer the slumpiness of the one in the OP myself.

Just an idea, do you think a vintage one would work OP? Kinder to animals, environment etc, plus I think it would be slumpier if already worn out a bit. I love buying second hand though so am probably a bit biased!

I like it a lot.

OP I love it, I like it better than the alternatives suggested. I'm 34.

Fuck no. For that money you could get a far nicer shape.

That Kara net a porter one is really nice, perfect for someone like me who doesn't like ostentatious labels and metalware.

The only slight downside IMHO to the one in the OP might be the brass studs which I'm not 100% sure about. Would need to see in person really.
